If They're Going to Follow the

Sterling Example of

The Present Board.

Why in Hell Doesn't The President of the Harvard

Crimson Do Something About it

Instead of Letting the

Sheet Sink Into A Financial Hole

Of Future Boards Will Never get the

The note, signed by its author, drew consenting signatures from half a dozen more editors. Underneath, in a more contained hand someone else had written..Why limit it to the financial hole? Isn't the rest of the paper worth saving?" These two expressions of discontent give a good indication of what was going on at The Crimson at the time. A short time before they appeared, a business manager had resigned in despair.

Me--Is that a promise?
